Constraint point to curved surface / edge

[j.pavlicek]

Hello,

I'm really missing option to constrain point (or something else) to curved edge/surface.

Relevant topic: How to constrain bolt to hole in cylindrical surface (inner)?

I tried this approach:

1. Bolt and hole axis are same mated
2. Bol XZ plane is mated to cylindrical surface axis
3. WorkPlane4 is parallel to bolt XZ and tangent to bolt head
4. WorkAxis2 is intersection of WorkPlane4 and bolt XY
5. WorkPoint2 is part of WorkAxis2 and bottom surface of the bolt head
   (this is last step I'm able to do)
6. WorkPoint3 is part intersection of WorkAxis1 and cylindrical surface
7. WorkPoint2 and WorkPoint3 are mated

It would be great the ability, using assembly constraint, to mate a point of a component  with a surface (not plane) of another component.

At the moment it's possibile to mate: face/face, point/point, edge/edge, edge/point,point/face but not curved surfaces.

This one needs to be brought out of archived status and publicized in the forums!

Why can we still not do this?
